Micro and nanofabrication of solid-state devices are rapidly becoming the key drivers of interdisciplinary research in emerging fields such as nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, nanomechanics, nanophysics, and biotechnology. Such technology is a critical component of modern economic development, and leadership in research on devices for electronics, photonics, and magnetics is a key to sustained US economic competitiveness. One of the greatest challenges in maintaining that leadership is the limited number of undergraduates from US engineering programs who pursue graduate studies in solid-state devices, especially those from underrepresented groups. This REU site the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Solid-State Devices for Electronics, Photonics, and Magnetics Technology ("the SURE program")is established to address this need. The SURE program will provide an average of ten students per summer the opportunity to pursue ten weeks of faculty-directed research. The primary goal is to provide each participant with a scientifically rigorous, intellectually demanding research experience within a highly collegial environment of collaboration with faculty and other students, expert guidance in non-technical aspects of professional development, and frequent opportunities for social interaction. Utilization of current and new partnering relationships will be used to increase participation by students from underrepresented groups. This program is supported by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers of the National Science Foundation.

固态器件的微纳米结构正迅速成为纳米电子学、纳米光子学、纳米力学、纳米物理学和生物技术等新兴领域跨学科研究的关键驱动力。 这种技术是现代经济发展的关键组成部分，在电子、光子学和磁学设备研究方面的领导地位是美国经济持续竞争力的关键。 保持这种领导地位的最大挑战之一是美国工程专业的本科生数量有限，他们在固态设备方面进行研究生学习，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体。 这个REU网站的夏季本科生研究经验，在固态器件的电子，光子学和磁性技术（“SURE计划”）是为了满足这一需求而建立的。 SURE计划将提供平均每年夏天十名学生有机会进行十周的教师指导的研究。 主要目标是为每位参与者提供科学严谨，智力要求高的研究经验，在与教师和其他学生合作的高度合议环境中，在专业发展的非技术方面提供专家指导，并经常有机会进行社交互动。 将利用现有的和新的伙伴关系来增加代表性不足群体的学生的参与。 该计划由工程教育部和国家科学基金会中心支持。
